Spicy shrimp ingredients

I usually buy bags of frozen cooked shrimp and keep them stashed in my freezer. This way I can unfreeze, peel and cook them in under 30 min. Very convenient solution for mid-week dinners. You can also use fresh or frozen uncooked shrimp, but it will take some extra minutes to cook them.
In a large bowl mix together the Sriracha sauce, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, and sugar. Add salt, pepper and paprika.
Add shrimps to the bowl and mix well with the sauce. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to marinate.
In the skillet, over the medium heat, melt the butter and cook shrimps with the marinade. Generously sprinkle it with sea food spices and add the sliced lemon.

If you use the cooked shrimp, you will need to cook them for about 5-7 minutes. The uncooked shrimp will need to be cooked for a bit longer.
Remove the shrimp from the heat and transfer to the plate. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve with pasta or rice. 
If you serve the shrimp as an appetizer, transfer the shrimp on the bed of lettuce leaves.  
Enjoy!
